5.3.2 - Cross-cultural research

5.3.2 Cross-cultural research:; the use of the cross-cultural research method, including the Strange Situation, in developmental psychology, including nature-nurture issues; the use of meta-analysis using cross-cultural research to draw conclusions about the universality of attachment types.

Use - cross-cultural research to connect the rule to the data and decision in the question.

This matters because - cross-cultural research determines what can be inferred or chosen; begin with the stated conditions and keep the conclusion tied to the evidence.

Example: apply - cross-cultural research to one small, clearly defined case, show the key step or comparison, and explain the result in words.

Boundary: - Cross-cultural research is not a universal recommendation. Check the syllabus scope, assumptions, units and the limits of the evidence before generalising.
